I have 2 Goodson lines that connect through marriages. I have a James Monroe Goodson in Perkins Co., AL. His parents were William Newton and Neoma Cheek Garvin. His siblings were: Martha Elizabeth, Lucy Jane, Annie Florence, Fanny Estelle Mart Etta, William Hemphill, Robert Lemuel, Hassentine and Minnie Ada. the only information I have on James is he was born 18 Oct. 1858 in Pickens Co., AL and died 3 Mar. 1916 in Pickens Co., AL. He married Martha Davis, but I do not have any information on her or their children.
If you think there is a connection, let me know and I will search further on his line
